Error correcting codes are well known techniques for improving bit error rate (BER) performance in digital communication systems and are particularly important in wireless information networks to help establish reliable communication links. This paper examines the effect of coder/decoder circuitry failures on the overall communication system performance. A system analysis of the error correction coding scheme performance must include an evaluation of the reliability of the coder/decoder circuitry because their failures also serve as a source of undetected errors. The parity bit code, Hamming single error correcting and detecting code, and the Reed–Solomon code are included in the study. Results reveal that for applications as described in the text that require low bit error rate and operate at low data rates, the reliability of the coding circuitry can play a significant role in determining overall system performance. In fact, for such error and data rates, a simpler coding scheme with higher circuit reliability may actually be more beneficial than a more complex coding scheme with enhanced error correcting ability but with a higher chip failure rate.

Demanding large bandwidth and signal robustness over a short distance, ultra wideband communication systems plays an important role. UWB systems exhibits very low spectral density, implies that the interference to narrowband systems is very small. The relay based communication has the advantages of coverage extension, range extension, increase data rates and green communication. The relay based communication with UWB frequency is used to increase the coverage area by using of relays and increasing the data rates by increasing SNR of the links using multi-hop communication. In this paper, capacity and bit error rate of relay based UWB system for indoor and outdoor channel models are analyzed. key Terms—UWB, green communication, multi-hop, capacity, bit error rate, spectral density.

Abstract Multi carrier modulation techniques such as MC-CDMA are used in high-speed communication applications. Due to MC-CDMA being a multiuser in technology, the subcarrier quantity allocated per user decreases in case the quantity of active users increases. Consequently, data rates per user are reduced with the increase in the bit error rate (BER). Efficient allocation of subcarriers to users within the system can aid the overcoming of this problem. This study develops a new algorithm for subcarrier allocation and system performance improvement in terms of BER, and data rates in comparison to other algorithms were ensured.

This paper presents a physical channel emulator solution for applications such as Bit Error Rate Testing of Error Correcting Codes. The solution relies on an analog White Gaussian Noise Generator coupled additively with an analog data signal to emulate the communication channel. This is interfaced to a computer through a USB connection, allowing the use of programs in different environments, such as Matlab and Labview. This solution can allow different types of channels to be emulated and with different noise sources. A software-based method to measure Signal to Noise Ratio and to characterize the channel is also presented. The system has been validated using a Matlab interface implementing multiple error correcting codes and showed good agreement with the theoretical model.

Visible Light Communication (VLC) systems use light-emitting diode (LED) technology to provide high-capacity optical links. The advantages they offer, such as the high data rate and the low installation and operational cost, have identified them as a significant solution for modern networks. However, such systems are vulnerable to various exogenous factors, with the background sunlight noise having the greatest impact. In order to reduce the negative influence of the background noise effect, optical filters can be used. In this work, for the first time, a low-cost optical vanadium dioxide (VO2) optical filter has been designed and experimentally implemented based on the requirements of typical and realistic VLC systems in order to significantly increase their performance by reducing the transmittance of background noise. The functionality of the specific filter is investigated by means of its bit error rate (BER) performance estimation, taking into account its experimentally measured characteristics. Numerous results are provided in order to prove the significant performance enhancement of the VLC systems which, as it is shown, reaches almost six orders of magnitude in some cases, using the specific experimental optical filter.

Abstract In this work, we propose a sixteen channel wavelength division multiplexed passive optical network (WDM-PON) architecture which provides seamless connectivity between mobile switching center (MSC) and base transceiver stations (BTS) and also serves the fiber to the home (FTTH) users. WDM-PON based mobile backhaul network is considered to be a prime solution due to its quick deployment and reduced cost. Due to growing demand for connectivity and data transmission, the number of wavelengths are increasing day by day. The bit error rate (BER) performance is analyzed for the discrete data rates per wavelength (viz. 2.5 Gbps, 5 Gbps, 10 Gbps, 20 Gbps, and 40 Gbps) at discrete reach for 16 channel WDM-PON. The optical spectrum of sixteen channel WDM-PON is observed for different data rates at multiplexer output and the same is analyzed after fiber distance of 20 km. The fiber reach of the WDM-PON is varied, and its effect on the performance parameter like bit error rate (BER) and Quality Factor (Q-Factor) is observed on BER analyzer for the discrete data rates per wavelength. It is found that as data rate per wavelength increases, the error-free reach of the WDM-PON system decreases. Proposed WDM-PON architecture performs superior to the compared work under similar initial conditions.

Occurrence of bit error is more when communication takes place in System on chip environment. By employing proper error detection and correction codes the bit error rate can be considerably reduced in On-chip communication. As System on chip involves heterogeneous system the efficiency of communication is improved when reconfigurable multiple coding schemes are preferred. Depending upon the requirements for various subsystem the correct code has to be selected. Due to the variations in input demands based on various subsystems the proper selection of codes become fuzzy in nature. In this paper Fuzzy Controller is designed to select the correct coding scheme. Inputs are given to the fuzzy controller based on the application demand of the user. The input parameters are minimum bit error rate, computational complexity and correlation level of the input data. Fuzzy Controller employs three membership functions and 27 rules to select the appropriate coding scheme. The selected coding scheme should be communicated at the proper time to the decoder. To enable the decoding process selected coding scheme is communicated effectively by using less overhead frame format. To verify the functionality of fuzzy controller random input data sets are used for testing.
